Ok Steve, I got her working. Shout out to you, and Anyway, it was simpler then I thought, the
server that I wanted to hold the mail uses NTmail by Gordano, not a high end
package, but darn nice. Setting up the queue there was trivial with the docs it
comes w/. I then had to get E2k to pull, so I went into ExAdmin, and /Org Name(Exchange)/Connectors/<My smtp Connector> and
configured the advanced tab to “Request ETRN/TURN from a different server”
and filled in the smtp server of the queue holding the mail. Connection time
was set in field related to that, then I checked off “Issue ETRN” and
configured “Domains” to the domain name of the domain I wanted to
pull, incidentally, it matches the name of the queue on the primary smtp server. I set MX records to my preferred server, the
one pulling down from the primary server(Does that
make sense, he he) to a priority of 10 cuz that’s where I want mail, and
the other server priority of 20. The high priority server is unreliable, and so
I don’t loose mail, I have the distant, but very reliable server queue up
mail when need be. Since the E2k server pulls down often, there is uninterrupted
mail. Your dilemma of getting your ISP to conf ETRN is another story, whether
they will or not who knows, but its very easy. Gordano
provides an exe that can dump, and then transmit the mail from the queue, and I
think swinc.com has an exe that does it as well called dequeue (thanks Kevin!).
That’s all I got for info… jlc -----Original Message----- I use 2 methods
in 5.5: 1. Set MX1 to
your firewall or Ex server if it is public (not advisable). Now all email will
be delivered to your Exchange server (to test - telnet exchange server name or
IP address on port 25 to see if it will respond). 2. Set MX2 to
another ISP or service for backup. I had this
conversation about a month ago and got some good feedback regarding ETRN. I'm
still in the process of discussions with my ISP about how to enable ETRN on
their side and trying to understand the config from my side. If you're
interested in reading more - there is a link on my site in the links section
that points to a FAQ on different locations about this. There are also lots of
articles on MS's site using the keyword ETRN. Hopefully, there
will be a lot more responses about the how and so forth after this. Regards, Steve Steve Clark Clark

anyone done this in e2k? I don’t need dial up, but how can I get an e2k
server to retrieve mail from an smtp server at our ISP? Also
what has to be done at the ISP to enable this? jlc List Charter
